University of Toronto Mississauga
campus and division of the University of Toronto in Mississauga, Ontario
The University of Toronto Mississauga (commonly known as UTM or U of T Mississauga) is one of the three campuses of the University of Toronto and its second-largest academic division, located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. It is set upon 225 acres (91 ha) of protected forest along the valley of the Credit River, approximately 33 kilometres west of the St. George campus in downtown Toronto.
Established in 1967 as Erindale College, a constituent college in the Faculty of Arts and Science, it became its own academic division in 2003 following significant growth in student enrolment. The campus has since expanded to become the University of Toronto's second-largest division overall and its second-largest campus in terms of both student enrolment and land area, the other two of which are the St. George and Scarborough campuses.
The campus hosts more than 180 programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level, offered through 15 academic departments, three institutions, and other University of Toronto divisions, including the Temerty Faculty of Medicine and Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing. The campus mainly provides undergraduate education in arts and science, similar to the Faculty of Arts and Science on the St. George campus, as part of the university's tri-campus structure. It also offers graduate programs, notably in the Mississauga Academy of Medicine, one of the four academies in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine's MD program, and the Institute for Management and Innovation.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as campus and division of the University of Toronto in Mississauga, Ontario. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6120110. VIAF identifies the subject as 153551546. The Library of Congress control number is n2005092101. Authority coordinates are 43.548, -79.663. 4 of 7 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 2 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1967 and 2003.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
